Due to Indiana and L.A. Lakers being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Indiana and L.A. Lakers had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Re: trade w LA idea

What in the world would you think is wrong with J.O. at his best? As if an MVP contender wasn't good enough for someones best?
